Childbirth Education

The more you understand about birth, the less you fear it. A structured course that prepares you — and your partner — for every stage of what's ahead.

What is childbirth education?

Prepared parents, calmer births

Childbirth education is structured antenatal learning — the kind that gives you a real understanding of how labour works, what your choices are, and how to navigate the experience with knowledge rather than fear.

Ibiza's childbirth education goes far beyond the basics. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, each course is tailored to where you are, what you already know, and what you most need to feel ready. She draws on years of supporting births in real hospital and home environments — not just textbook theory.

Birth partners are central to this course. Understanding what is happening at each stage, how to support their partner, and how to communicate with the medical team — this is preparation for both of you.

Who is this for?

First-time parents who want to go into birth informed and ready. Couples who want to be prepared together. Anyone who has previously had a difficult birth and wants to approach the next one differently.

Format and timing

Available as a full course (typically 4–6 sessions) or condensed intensive. Best started around 28–32 weeks. Individual sessions or couple sessions available.

Course content

What you will cover together

  • 1

    How labour works — the real version

    A clear, honest explanation of the stages of labour: what your body is doing, what sensations to expect, and what the timeline typically looks like. No sugar-coating, no drama — just honest preparation.

  • 2

    Your choices and your rights

    Pain relief options, interventions, monitoring, positions for labour and birth — what is available, what each option involves, and how to make decisions that feel right for you. You have more choices than you might think.

  • 3

    Birth plans that actually work

    How to write a birth plan that is clear, concise, and respected by your care team — covering your preferences for every scenario, including if things change during labour.

  • 4

    The birth partner's role

    A dedicated session for your birth partner — what to say, what not to say, how to read the room, and how to be the calm, confident presence their partner needs.

  • 5

    Caesarean birth — planned and unplanned

    What a caesarean involves, how to prepare if yours is planned, and how to process it if it becomes necessary unexpectedly. Understanding reduces fear, whatever path birth takes.

  • 6

    The fourth trimester — what comes after

    The early weeks at home: newborn basics, the emotional reality of new parenthood, feeding, sleep, and how to look after yourself as well as your baby.

Couples-focused approach

Partners are active participants, not observers. Ibiza works with both of you, so you arrive at birth day as a team — not one prepared person and one bystander.
